A user on our instance reported a post on lemmynsfw as CSAM. Upon seeing the post, I looked at the community it was part of, and immediately purged all traces of that community from our instance.

I approached the admins of lemmynsfw and they assured me that the models with content in the community were all verified as being over 18. The fact that the community is explicitly focused on making the models appear as if they’re not 18 was fine with them. The fact that both myself and one a member of this instance assumed it was CSAM, was fine with them. I was in fact told that I was body shaming.

I’m sorry for the lack of warning, but a community skirting the line trying to look like CSAM isn’t a line I’m willing to walk. I have defederated lemmynsfw and won’t be reinstating it whilst that community is active.

      Yeah, so this is my account on here, here to tell you that Ada banned the above account for calling them out

      I deleted your reply because you replied from a lemmy.world account, despite my post making it clear this thread is intended for blahaj lemmy users. You’re welcome to repost it from your blahaj account.

      And your use of “fragile” as a pejorative is interesting. Protecting folk who are already fragile is exactly what I’m trying to do here.

        And yet I see multiple posts from lemmy.world that are older that haven’t been removed.

          The point of federated instances is that they can make their own decisions around federation, moderation, administration, etc.

          This post is not intended for negotiating and arguing about this decision. This is the admins of this instance letting members know of a decision they’ve made. If you’re a member here, cool, this affects you. It’s not going to change, though, so if you don’t like it there’s plenty of other instances that will continue to federate with lemmynsfw.

          If you’re not a member, this doesn’t affect you, and your opinion is literally just noise here. Feel free to start a post decrying the prudish, authoritarian stance of the blahaj admins and espousing your need to allow CSAM adjacent material literally anywhere else.
